Why do some people believe that the holocaust didn't happen?

Question

I've heard of people saying that the holocaust never happened. I say they are talking BS. Why and how could somebody believe that? We have survivors, people who knew people that died, Anne Frank,People who have relative that have died, and even the camps that people were sent to, and photos. How can people deny it?

I'd like to hear from someone who doesn't believe in the holocaust to see what they think and possibly see if any of the b.s. could actually hold water (not that it would change my mind, it would just be interesting)

Answer 1

It seems so convenient for the Jews from the point of view of a Palestinian. They seemed so clearly the victims, so clearly done wrong to, that it might seem somehow artificial, especially if you lost your homeland to repay them for their troubles.

My belief is, personally, that there are, first of all, many previous holocausts went undocumented, and this particular one is just overdocumented because it happened so recently, so close to American culture, and that it proved that the victorious Allies were really the good guys.

Secondly, the ideological and combative battle between semetic and philistine peoples is quite old, and blows were made by both sides; however, to an uneducated observer, it looks like the holocaust is just a sudden, cruel, and random blow against the Jews, which seems very unbelievable if you don't know any of the history.

The carefully constructed tale of the Holocaust is very much true, but is far from the whole story. Portraying it in isolation makes for, frankly, a quite unbelievable tale. And when some groups don't like Jews in the first place, it is easy for them to doubt the even slightly doubtable, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Answer 2

they are in many situations the individuals who hate Jews and that's the sole reason. the sole different group of those that would desire to purpose to disclaim it could be Germany and that they've publicly stated that it got here approximately and that they even have rules that make it unlawful to declare it did not ensue. So the sole group left could be people who hate Jews. particularly their arguement replace into that the numbers have been overexagerrated to offer the Jewish human beings sympathy so as that they might have the skill to reclaim Israel for the Jews. i'm unlikely to lie and say that's entire bullshit for the reason that's truthfully a enormously first rate speculation. however the evidence does not back this up in any respect. Conservative estimates positioned the holocaust particularly much less that 5 million however the quantity it incredibly is maximum usual is 6 million. the real estimate is 5.9 million yet anybody rounds upwards.

Answer 3

My friend and I discuss this a lot, and his argument is that it is anti-Semitism, pure and simple, but it's not really for our generation. There is too much evidence, too many people still alive who remember it, etc. But in another generation, those people will be dead, and the Holocaust deniers will have already laid the groundwork for erasing the memory of the Holocaust. They will paint the Jews (and maybe the homosexuals or the disabled or anyone else who was persecuted) as liars, undeserving of our compassion. It's a horrifying prospect, and makes the work of historians and survivors even more crucial now.

Answer 4

I do not believe anyone actually believes it didn't happen there are just some people who DENY that it did, or wish it didn't to suit their own revisionist history agenda.

Ask someone who survived the concentration camps if it happened or not. There are many still alive afterall. They aren't making it up and we have photos and documentation made by the Nazi's themselves to prove it. We also have the camps and gas chamber preserved to see for yourself. There are still mass graves. The Nazi's were anal about documenting everything, they kept detailed and meticulous records of the entire operation. This is why we know so much about everything that went on.

We also have over 6 million people missing. It is difficult to misplace that many people.

Answer 5

Alejandro,
good question. May I suggest you go to the below listed web site and explore for yourself within its walls the reasons why people deny it exists. There are in existence plenty of hate groups that promote this kind of thinking - I doubt seriously that you will get an opposing point of view in this forum.

I know of an Attorney that today serves Holocaust survivors and their families in claims/reparations that are still being made against countries and financial institutions. Google "The Claims Conference" and read for yourself. It will assist any potential discussion you have in the future.

Best to you!

Gerry :)

Answer 6

Sad but true that some people believe this never happened. The ones are the Jew haters and the other is the shame on Humanity. Maybe in another 100yrs from now the professors and history books will rewrite history to its barely a mentioned.

Answer 7

The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.


OTHER CONSPIRACIES TO THINK ABOUT:

1. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.

2. America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.

3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.... The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, with duplicity from Castro and Kruschev....true story.

4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.

5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets, stars as well as the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.

6. The fossils of homo eructus, neandertals and 15 other hominids that are extinct were put there by paleotologists, archeologists, and assorted rock hounds to enhance their careers. Creationism is the only reality.

7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.

8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Answer 8

I have heard some of these people explain themselves. They don't deny that millions of people were killed during to war and most of them happened to be Jewish. They just don't believe that it was a concerted effort to eliminate Jewish people specifically. But, like any conspiracy theory, they are just ignoring the enormity of evidence detailing the Holocaust.

Answer 9

I think it's ridiculous that people deny it. However, some people do either because they don't want to admit it happened, they're out of their mind, or they simply never thought it was relevant (but I totally agree with you, there's just too much evidence to say it didn't happen)

Answer 10

Genius has limits...stupidity does not

People deny that we landed on the moon, that the earth is round...well...roundish and that we evolved from a lesser species.

Let them believe what they wish.
